Customer Reviews Reef Fanning Leather

This is my second pair of these sandals, and I wear them just about everywhere (home, church, out-and-about, the beach, etc.). My latest pair, though, did require some getting used to. The underside of the straps is now a cloth material, as opposed to the smooth leather of the first. There was also some discoloration on the lighter leather. As opposed to the sand/light tan as shown, mine are almost blue (thankfully, I'm okay with that color). There were also two rough places on the leading edge of the straps (where the darker leather is sown on). After two days of trying to break them in, I took some light sandpaper to them and that smoothed them out enough to stop rubbing my feet raw. I would also love to see a lighter version of these without the bottle opener.

Like the "soda" opener, comfort and support

Smart, stylish product that could stand a little upgrade in comfort & size.

To wear? I hate surveys and this is asking toooooo much I bought sandals for someone and he wears them a lot ,

Love the arch support in the flip flops. Thanks!

A little tight to start but my old pair was super comfortable

The best sandals ever owned.

I use em on the boat, on the dock (two places that are always wet and slippery) so I like to have my feet gripping to the floor good and these do the job quite well. They have good arch so my feet don't get as tired when I'm walkin, they look pretty cool, even though the soles are rubber they have a diamond cut texture so my feet ain't slidin around in em while wet. Only two things I'd change is keep the soles flat, just rubber, no bottle opener (I mean who's gunna remember they got a bottle opener under there feet when they decide to pop a cap off a "coca cola", plus it gets annoying after you here " hey Charlie lemme use your sandal right quick" a hundred times) bad one Mr. Fanning, looks childish and dumb. Otherwise great sandal, I'd buy a pair again.

Sandals fit well as always but the sole failed after a week had to shoe Goo it up hopefully that holds up

Looks great, but the sole's are hard and not that comfortable. Wouldn't buy again.

Fits perfectly like all Fannings. I was disappointed that the color did not match the picture.

the color appears to be off white in the online photo of the shoe, however; when i recieved the shoe it was grey and alot darker than the photos on line. i kept them but was not pleased with the color combo, grey and brown do not complement each other.

There nice to look at and I like the bottle opener at the bottom but the strap is way to tight. I'm a female and I ordered these because I love the sporty look they have but there so tight it hurts to wear them

Bought these to replace others I had. I seem to have lost one of them somewhere. Anyway, they need a lot of breaking in, still aren't. The ones I had before this pair were much more comfortable. They look the same but don't feel the same.

I am giving these sandals a 3 due to the fact I don't have much experience with them. The day I got these bad boys I wore them all day long. They are comfy and seemed to be pretty durable. Day 2 comes around and my puppy gets a little jealous of my sweet new flops. So much so that when I was gone he completely destroyed them. He chewed them so bad that they went from a size 10 to a size 6. (Attached picture will show you what I'm talking about). Morale of the story, don't leave your puppy alone with some fannings that have the smell of genuine leather flowing throughout the house the sandals look great and apparently taste great too. I would for sure recommend them to a pet free household. Men's leather fanning A+, Berkley the German shorthair pointer D-

Fits perfectly like all Fannings. I was disappointed that the color did not match the picture.

Great looking. But they changed the sole material, and they are less comfortable to walk in. The beer opener in the bottom is dumb.

I will start with the good part, they are very durable, which is my only complaint with reefs, I bike with them to class every day and use them for swimming and walking in saltwater, it's quite impressive. The thing I don't like about these is how annoyingly squeaky and noisy they are, I've had them for half a year now and they're just as loud as they were when I first bought them. I'm always embarrassed when I'm walking through the library at school with them. They also stink quite a bit even a month after you first get them, but I'm not sure if that's normal for the material they're made of. If you don't mind the noise I highly recommend, they are GREAT for someone looking for work sandals like on a boat.

All-around non-winter wear.

I've owned this shoe or its earlier models for over 15 years, have literally had 12 pair, and prior models received 5 Stars. This pair has changed. The inside of the strap is no longer leather. I looked all over town to see if I could find some old style and would have returned the ones purchased directly from Reef. Dillards had my old school favorites, but only up to size 10 and I need an 11. This is either the second or third time you have changed or discontinued my favorite model. It's a flip flop, there's no need to innovate.

I've loved my Reefs with the bev key for a long time but I've always gotten the BYOBs. Now that Reef doesn't make a slip on any more I bought these. The base is the same but I'm not crazy about the toe thong. It will take some getting used too.
